[Peace-discuss] Fwd: [IllinoisGreensTalk] FWD: protest against war with Iraq, 10/16

[Jim Buell]

FYI, anti-war actions are gearing up elsewhere in the area. Here's 
something in my inbox about an event planned at ISU. I've also forwarded 
another message to Ricky that the Prairie Greens received from an 
individual in Danville who's getting permits together for an anti-war 
demonstration there on the 27th. My guess is that these newer groups might 
appreciate hearing from AWARE about what's being done here - this might 
possibly become another means of outreach for the group, as opposition 
deepens to the looming invasion of Iraq.
